Tree.io is simple, which allows for customization and specialization. :)
I think you mistake all-in-one with complexity and non-adaptability. Centralization makes software vulnerable, that's right, but not this type of in-house centralization.
Correct me if I am wrong.
Even the best and most loosely coupled component-based software has one problem, it needs to be connected (glued if badly written) to other systems to make it useful. What this evolves to is a complex network of interlinked components. Similar to organic systems nature has invented. Ironic, that we humans create similarly working components that we're made out of.
- hardwaresofton 13y agoI can definitely see the value in connecting the systems -- that's without a doubt very important (and a very good reason Microsoft has a corner on the market) What I was more getting at was that by not focusing on interaction/dealing with centralization or supporting interaction between multiple services, teams usually move faster (less process, if no other gains -- no one has to check your outputs for compatability,etc), and get to do more feature-development. But then again, as a lazy person who loves open source stuff, any attempt at something so ambitious is awesome I think. I feel like a lemming for saying anything bad about it. [EDIT] - Taking another look at the tour -- It is pretty amazing. A lot of companies are charging for LESS functionality
- X4 13y agoYeah, I also kind of find it funny when companies charge for very simple invoice tools, when they could opensource it, and focus on their next mini-project instead. They could built a suite of tools that way, but hey "instant profit" is seductive.
